 MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) - Some newly elected Liberian lawmakers threatened Monday to boycott legislative proceedings amid complaints of vote fraud in the country's presidential election.
Results from last week's run-off have given former Finance Minister Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf an unbeatable lead over soccer star candidate George Weah. Election officials said with more than 99 percent of the vote counted, Johnson-Sirleaf had 59.6 percent, compared with Weah's 40.4 percent.
A final tally will be announced Tuesday but a victor will not be declared until a complaint filed by Weah's campaign is heard and any other complaints are investigated, according to the electoral commission.
